Title: Had to wear wellies
Post by: wynne jones on January 26, 2012, 09:33:56 pm
So I went to see the carpet in a greasy spoon place except it wasn't just the spoons.

At first I thought it was the pile had worn out and it was the backing showing. Did a bit of prodding and it was 2mm of black grease!

Do any padders take on jobs like this and if so how do you tackle it?

That bad? Then I'd rotary with a green pad (yes green) keeping an eye for when the top level has been removed. Change to a red or brown pad. HWE and if need be rotary scrub again. HWE again.
Some jobs can't be LM only and this is one of them.

Yes Neil used a red pad to agitate. I have some pics but can't upload for some reason. Will figure it out.   ???

Don't be so fowl Wynne!

I wouldn't have bothered too much with the scrubbing bit on that grease.  After a liberal dose of HOT powerburst with plenty of oxidiser in it, I'd have maybe run the rotary with poly brush over it

Then RX-20 with the TM, something in the chem feed like SPM I've been using lately... bob's your uncle!

But these are yukky jobs, not my favourite!

Don't do commercials of this sort, sorry .... but IF I were to do it I would have done as Neil and Wynne, scrubbed the hell out of it with green or red pad using M power, then the shampoo brush using HD with soluboost, and then finally another scrub with fusion clean to help try and encap the crud, and after a while padded off... The I would have called Neil with his scorpion and asked him to finish off   ;D ;D ;D
